The bill amends RCW 49.58.110 to enhance the requirements for employers regarding wage and salary disclosures in job postings. It mandates that employers disclose the wage scale or salary range and a general description of benefits for each job opening. Additionally, upon request, employers must provide the wage scale for employees offered internal transfers or promotions. The provisions apply to employers with 15 or more employees and establish that job applicants or employees can seek remedies for violations of these disclosure requirements.

A significant addition to the bill is the introduction of a corrective measure for employers. If a job applicant or employee notifies an employer in writing that their job posting does not comply with the disclosure requirements, the employer has 10 business days to correct the posting. If the employer makes the necessary corrections within this timeframe, they will not face penalties, damages, or other relief. This provision aims to encourage compliance while providing employers an opportunity to rectify any inadvertent mistakes without facing immediate repercussions.
